A Little Girls Christmas Surprise
to Her Father.

About two weeks before Christmas lit
tie girl named Violet Jones, living in a
small town in Missouri, addressed letter
10 the mayor which that official forwarded
to the district pension commissioners. The
little one inquired in uncertain and badly
spelled English why it was that her father,
A. j. Jones, who served through the war,
could not get d pension, while so many
others could, and concluded her epis,le by
stating that her father was sick and too
poor to employ lawyer. The commits
sioners Immediately forwarded the letter 10
Commissioner of Pensions Black, and were
soon notified by the latter that MIR. Jones
pension had been granted, with full al
lowance of back pay. On receipt of this
the commissioners Immediately wrote to
the little girl informing her of the result of
her inquiry, and as the letter reached her
about the oath, there wss ne doubt reioic.

Forced to Marry as She Promised.
A Lynchburg, Va, dispatch of the 25th
relates the following particulars of most
extraordinary occurrence: Kyle Taylor, Is
years of age, living near Grayson Sulphur
Springs, Gmyson County. was engaged to
marry an Enelishman named Rudd, stop
ping at the springs. The time was fixed
for the marriage and all preparations were
made, when she changed her mind and re-
fused TO marry him. The Engl .shman ap-
piled to 'squires Alley and Frost for a
warrant TO arrest the girl. They issued it,
and she was brought before them to answe,
the charges preferred, whatever they we're.
She refused to comply, but the justices in
sisted That she must keep her promise OF
90 to prison. The frightened girl finally
consented, and the ceremony was quickly
performed. There is no doubt whatever of
Ssa correctness Of the above statement, and
excitement exists in the neigLbor-
.sss. Iss $3.50 se the facts leaked out

A Statehood Mass Meeting.

A mass meeting in the interest of state

Dec. %. Speeches were made by ex- Mayor
Nash, Gov. Me]lette, H. Raywagers, Mr..
Sterling, of Sphinx County; Gro. Pease, of
Codington County, and L. w. Crofoot. All
were earnest and alive to the subject and
favored making thorough canvass of all
the counties in the State, and set before
the people the imminent danger aprre-
hended by the passage of the Springer bill,
and counsel them to stand firm for division
and take nothing less. A circular letter

Left 1T Tuxedo Park.

A kinder atmosphere for the growth Of in
comparable cottages is that surrounding
Tuxedo park. Invited for Friday until the
following Tuesday morning, went down in
tending TO study all the workings of the club,
to penetrate even TO its reason for being, to
learn how many acres the park covered, and,
in fine, to supply you with the driest and
fullest statistics. But came away as ignor-
ant os l went. / had too good time to
bother about reasons or measure acres, and
you viii have to be content with general
description. Your good resolution, doubt
less, would have been broken like mine. Soft
pleasure would have possessed you as soon as
you entered the stately park gates and been
driven for q mile and half along the Dor.
ders OF . steel blue lake, and through woods
Of soft and vivid green to the Manorial club
house. You would have sunk into an easy
chair on the piazza, and, while gazing over a
landscape which nature and man have gar
dened, never once hazaried an impairment
question.
The Tuxedo Park club house is almost too
handsome end convenient 70 be hkened to q
manor, where ono looks for moss and little
discomfort. 1t Is neither family residence
nor fine hotel, but it possesses the virtues Of
both. The nuisances of either q train of
romping children and a group of young men
with cigarettes and minocles have no part In
the ultra civilization Of the Tuxedo club. The
bachelors, save when they are dining or dane
ing, or making calls at the house, are banished
to an annex, and children and nurses are con-
fined in another annex, called the 1kennel.
Surrounding the house, like fluffy chickens
about the mother hen, are the cottages, and
at the first symptoms Of danger, burned
outlet or dismissed cook, they find sure
refuge under her wing. At safe distance
from the habitable portion Of Tuxedo, the
stables have been erected. and these COM
prise the entire stabling accommodation Of
the park, for, according TO stipulation in
his lease, no proprietor is permitted to build
private stable. Every imaginable kind Of
vehicle Is @: the command of guests. fren

A SUMMER INDUSTRY.
Chicago Women Making TOSoggan Caps
for Next Winters Trade.

THAT makes over 300," said the manage,
of a knit goods mandatory, as young wo-
man with bundle in her hands closed the
door behind her. 81 advertised for women
to do crochet work at their homes, and rve
fairly been besieged with applicants ever
since.n
"Why is there a special demand for crochet
work at this season of the yearg
"Toboggan caps" was the laconic reply.
''You see, we're getting ready for next win.
ter's trade, and as there seem to be no signs of
the toboggan craze dying out, we want to lay
n good stock of material to fill the demands
Of the jobbers. This crochet work is an ex-
cellent thing, by the way, and there's many
family in Chicago which is entirely sup
ported by it. 1t doesn't require much skill,
and a woman with any aptitude for that kind
of work can easily crochet ten caps in the
course of the day. We pay ten cents cap,
so you see woman can make a nice little in
come out of the work. Strange to say, how
ever, most of our applicants are mar
ried women who are supported in comfort
able style by their husbands. They have
everything they want except pin money, and
they take this means of getting it After all,
it's a sort Of an amusement for them, too.
After their household duties are over, and
they find their time hanging heavily on their
hands, they can take out cap and work
on it. Why said a woman to me this
morning, 4 think this is Just splendid
scheme. don't care if 1 don't make more
than 81 week; it win keep me in ice cream.
Some firms require the crocheters to make a
deposit before they take tine work home, but
we never do. I've been in the business over
ten years, and Eve never known the firm to
lose an ounce Of material. No, the people
who do this kind of work are honest"
At this point q buxom young matron
entered the managers Office leading little
girl by the hand. "Oh, Mr.. - she ex-
claimed, Il want material for six dozen caps
We've started a society on the west side, and
we're going to have Gaping bee every day.
It's just too delightful for anything, and I'm
going to make ever so much pin money this
summer
"That's just the way it goes" said the
manager, after the applicant for material had
departed. "Now, know that woman. Her
husband is head clerk in q big store down
town, and gets salary of 81, 500 year. She
has no need of the money; it's only freak
in which she has induced some of her friends
to participate. They'll soon tire of it, though,
and then some one more in need of the money
will receive the benefit. Chicago News
